The Challenge
Across time and space many countries have claimed to be successors in spirit of ancient empires. The Ottomans claimed to be the successors to the Caliphate, Saddam Hussein wanted to recreate the Babylonian Empire, and many states from France to Russia have claimed themselves to be the true successor of the Roman Empire.
Your challenge is to make a map showing a nation that is either attempting to revive or recreate a long dead empire (e.g. Mussolini's Italy trying to revive the Roman Empire) or that considers itself to be the cultural or spiritual successor of a long dead empire (e.g. Russia's claim as the "Third Rome"). You may make a map of an empire's direct successor (e.g. the Byzantine Empire as a successor to the Roman Empire, or the Seleucid Empire to Alexander's Macedonian Empire) if you so wish.
The Restrictions
The empire of which your nation claims to be the successor may be an empire that doesn't exist in OTL. For example, if Carthage manages to overpower Rome and forge an empire similar to OTL's Roman Empire then you may make a map of a nation that claims be the successor of this Carthaginian Empire.
Future maps are allowed, but implausibility should be kept to a minimum. There are no specific restrictions on when or where the map can be set.
If you're not sure whether your map idea would count for this challenge, please feel free to PM me.
This round shall finish on Saturday the 7th of May.
